Brothers Karamazov and secular reading
Perhaps the best quality of The Brothers Karamazov is it's characters, every last one of them is fascinating and relatable, but for me the most impactful was Elder Zosima.
A pretty common question people have before reading BK is, if they are an atheist, will they get anything out of it.
As an atheist/agnostic person, Elder Zosima to me is perhaps the greatest piece of communication of the merits of faith and even the specific faith of the character and author (Orthodox Christianity).
I would go so far as to say that after book 6, I feel so much closer to understanding what a powerful and beautiful thing religion can be, even if you struggle with the literal belief in scripture.
I can expand on specifics if anyone is interested but I'm curious if any other secular readers felt genuinely moved by the way Zosima talks about Christianity.
